Microsoft Teams' new unified experience is now available for Windows and Mac users

As you might know, Microsoft promised a unified Teams platform for personal and professional experience a while ago. You should know the Redmond-based tech giant has just rolled it out. The app is designed to make your life easier, whether you’re using it for work, personal matters, or education. This fresh version is now available for anyone using Windows 10, 11, or Mac.

First off, the convenience factor is through the roof. You no longer need to juggle between different accounts or apps for your various needs. With this update, Microsoft lets you add multiple accounts to the Teams app. You can seamlessly switch from a work meeting to chatting with your family or diving into your school project within the same app.

In a blog post, Microsoft says you can join a Teams meeting with whichever account you prefer, or even as a guest, without the hassle of signing in and out. This means less fumbling around and more time connecting with people who matter. Whether it’s a business call or planning the next big event for your school’s fundraiser, the choice is yours at the click of a button.

And for those who love freebies, here’s some good news: Windows 10 and Mac users can now connect and collaborate with anyone on Teams for free, as long as you sign in with a personal email. You can schedule meetings, share files, or create a community for your hobby group or parent-teacher association, all without spending a dime.

If you’re already a Teams user, your app will update automatically. But if you’re impatient for the unified experience, you can download the new Microsoft Teams immediately from the Microsoft Store.
